Mazhar during his testimony in court said he was abducted from outside his home in Shyamoli and taken to Khulna. Earlier, Dhaka Metropolitan Police chief Md Asaduzzaman Mia said detectives are suspicious of the account provided by Mazhar. He told court kidnappers forced him into a microbus while he was out buying medicine. According to Archana, Farhad Mazhar became ‘worried as he had no money’ when she demanded some after ‘becoming pregnant’ again in April this year. A rice-seller in the area, ‘Dipali’, said she was the only Hindu woman involved in the business in Bhatara and she does not know Archana.
